Watery discharge from the breast, especially when pressed, can be a sign of hormonal imbalance or an issue with the lymphatic system, potentially linked to excess Kapha or Vata dosha in Ayurveda. While this may not always indicate a serious problem, it’s essential to monitor and seek medical evaluation to rule out underlying conditions, particularly at the age of 45. Ayurvedic remedies such as Shatavari and Ashwagandha can help balance hormones and support overall well-being. Incorporating turmeric milk and fenugreek seed water may further aid in regulating hormonal activity. Dietary adjustments, including warm, light foods and reducing cold, heavy, or dairy items, can help alleviate symptoms by reducing Kapha. Gentle yoga poses like Cobra Pose and Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhana) can also be beneficial for promoting hormonal balance and reducing stress. Get your hormones tested especially prolactin. However, alongside these Ayurvedic practices, it is advisable to perform regular self-examinations and consult a an Ayurvedic gynaecologist for a comprehensive assessment to ensure there are no underlying health issues.

Firstoff, if you're experiencing any unusual discharge from your breasts, it's absolutely essential to consult a healthcare professional. It's always best to rule out anything serious. But taking a look from an ayurvedic viewpoint, let’s consider a few aspects. In Ayurveda, we tend to look at symptoms in terms of dosha imbalances. Watery discharge could indicate an excess of Kapha dosha – which is tied to qualities of water and earth, and could possibly relate to tissue fluids (like breast discharge). Try noticing if there's anything in your diet or lifestyle that could be elevating Kapha. Heavy, creamy foods or irregular meal timings, maybe. One simple adjustment would be slightly reducing or avoiding kapha-increasing foods - like super heavy dairy - cheese, sweet dishes, too many cold beverages. Also, look at your daily routine, any patterns that would potentially lead to ama (toxins) buildup in your system. Including spices like ginger, black pepper or turmeric in your meals can be helpful to boost agni, the digestive fire, and balance kapha energy. Sometimes, stress and emotional factors too play a role. Are there any prolonged stressors in your daily life? Practices like yoga, pranayama, or meditation can be soothing, balancing the mind-body connection. For more direct topical treatment, massaging your breasts gently with warm sesame oil - just a small amount - might help soothe any congestion or blockages, naturally. Ideally in a clockwise direction but do it whenever it feels comfortable. But again, while these might ease symptoms, don’t skip visiting a healthcare professional for a comprehensive evaluation. Safety first, y’know.
